et al. [9, 10] developed a split vane impeller pump (SVIP). It was a multi-vane electrical submersible pump (ESP) and the purpose was to transfer homogenized flow and finer bubbles to delay the surging and gas lock condition until higher GVF occurred. And the gas handling capacity of typical multiphase ESPs can be finally increased up to 70 %.

IMAGE 9: Pump design points. When unit-B runs at 2,082 rotations per minute (rpm) and flow of around 31,000 gpm, the power through the pumps will be between 18,000 to 19,000 hp, while at 2,230 rpm and flow of ~46,000 gpm, the power through the pumps will be ~28,000 hp.

This is why the incorporation of balance holes, pump out vanes or both comes into play as axial force reduction methods. Pump out vanes are a design compromise and so there is a small, but acceptable, trade-off with efficiency and power consumption when using this approach. IMAGE 1: Pump out vanes are small vanes on …
The closed-vane model he mentions was factory from 89-98. For 98.5-07, they use the open vane metal pump. The 07.5 and up trucks use the open vane composite impeller. The 12v closed-vane pump flows the most, the 24v/3rd gen pump flows the least, and the 6.7 pump flows in the middle. This is also consistent with the first article I read.
In this article, we will delve into the main impeller types used for centrifugal pumps. 1. Open Impeller. Open impellers are designed with vanes completely open on both sides, offering maximum passage for the fluid. These impellers are preferred for pumps that handle highly contaminated or viscous fluids and those containing solids.

The flow characteristics at a centrifugal pump impeller are significantly affected by the hub inclination angle (HIA). The large eddy simulation turbulence model is employed to simulate the centrifugal pump impeller internal flow at two HIA values under design (1.0 Q d) and off-design (0.55 Q d) conditions.The reliability of the simulation …
However, just because an ideal vane number has not yet been established is not sufficient reason to consider it doesn't exist. Single stage pump and first stage, high suction performance impellers tend to have fewer vanes – often 3, 4 or 5. Multistage pump series stages, pipeline pumps and large, high efficiency pumps tend to have 7 or more ...

Impeller meters feature a six-bladed design with a proprietary, non-magnetic sensing mechanism. The impeller shape coupled with the absence of magnetic drag provides accuracy and repeatability throughout the flow range of the sensors. As the liquid flow turns the impeller, a low impedance square wave signal is transmitted with a frequency ...

The pump is provided with guide vanes on the suction side of the impeller in order to be used for flow rate ...
Semi-Closed impeller's anatomy adds a shroud or plate to the back of the impeller and acts as the vanes are webbed increasing the strength mechanically of the vanes. It is a middle ground between an open impeller and a closed impeller. Semi Open impellers are of medium efficiency are used on most average size centrifugal pumps.

Impeller with narrow-vane is a typical thin-walled structural part of the turbine engine. The high-accuracy requirement for the impeller is difficult to achieve in the machining process due to its low structural stiffness and narrow machining domain. This paper proposes a framework for enhancing the milling accuracy of the thin-walled …
Hydraulic Institute. 11/08/2023. The impeller in a slurry pump is designed to optimize the passage of abrasive solids while considering erosive wear that will affect performance. Therefore, they are designed compared to more conventional impellers used with clear liquids. Both closed and semi-open impellers can be used for slurry applications.
Rotary vane pumps are a popular and efficient solution for the transfer of clean, low to medium viscosity fluids and fuels at a range of temperatures and relatively low pressures. Rotary vanes pumps are a particularly good choice for the following applications: Fuel and light oil transfer. Lubrication. Gasoline/petroleum.
Figure 4-4 Typical performance curve for a specific impeller diameter. A performance curve is a plot of Total Head vs. flow rate for a specific impeller diameter and speed. The plot starts at zero flow. The head at this point corresponds to the shut-off head of the pump, point A in Figure 4-4 (more about this later).
Consider the volume of an impeller that is 20 cm in diameter with 1 cm deep vanes. The volume of the impeller (pi x r 2 x h) is 314 cm 2 less the volume of the impeller vanes (say 10%) = approx. 280 cm 2 (0.28 l) per revolution. If you double the vane depth to 2 cm then the volume doubles to 560 cm 2 (0.56 l) per revolution.
A vendor was selected to overhaul the pump, perform the CFD analysis and to hydraulically test the pump. Once disassembled, the vendor carefully inspected the pump and found the following issues: The impeller vanes were excessively worn on their edges. Significant erosion damage was observed on one vane only (See Image 5).
Excellent self-priming capabilities – Flexible impeller pumps are self-priming up to 6m from dry thanks to the nature of vanes meaning that they maintain a tight seal with the internal pump walls. As a result, this pump design is popular in installations where a good suction lift capacity is required such as the removal of fluid from sumps ...
